asher at 2 months

asher is growing like a weed! at birth, his weight was 7 lbs. 14 oz. 2 weeks later, he not only had regained his birth weight, he surpassed it at 8 lbs. 4 oz. at that time he was in the 50th percentile for both weight and height. well, he's still growing and at 2 months old he weighs 13 lbs. 10 oz. and is 23 1/2 inches long!!! he's in the 90th percentile for weight and 80th for his height. definitely a change from caleb who has always hung out around the 5th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height. asher is eating every 2 1/2-3 1/2 hours during the day. he'll also take a really good morning nap, the afternoon one we're still working on, although he's not crabby if he's awake. at night, he sleeps from approximately 8:30-12:00 a.m., eats, and then sleeps again until 4:00/4:30 a.m. eats and will have very light/active sleep until we all are up around 6:30 a.m. i have been thrilled with that schedule! asher is such a happy little boy. he has started cooing and making all sorts of other baby noises. this morning, he was smiling at me and caleb and it absolutely melted my heart. he also lets us know when he's excited by kicking his legs and waving his arms. he loves to lay on his back and have you pull him up to the sitting position. he'll just look around (he has really good head control) with an excited expression on his face. he's doing pretty well with the dreaded tummy time, too. he fusses a little bit, but caleb and i encourage him to lift his head. it's too cute to hear caleb say, "come on asher," and "yea asher." i can't say it enough, tom and i are doubly blessed to have such happy and healthy boys!
